[HANASHIR:7111] Kiddush - EmPHAsis

[Rachelle and Howard Shubert <notfranz...>]

A question for you who are ahead of me in Hebrew studies:

I have noticed that various publications of the sheet music for the Kiddush 
melody differ.  I have seen the emphasis on Shabbat kodSHEcha and have also 
seen it KODshecha with the emphasized syllable on the longer note(s).  
Similarly, there is RAtzon and raTZON.  I have been doing it my way for some 
time but as I embark on teaching it to the choir I would like to clear this up. 
 There is a similar difficulty in the Candle lighting blessing, which is 
written in some publications as l'hadLIK ner and some l'HADlike ner shel 
Shabbat .

Thanks,
Rachelle
